Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
½ cup low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
½ cup fat-free sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup key lime juice
1 drop green food coloring, or as needed

Steps:

Combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar in a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of mixture to the bottom of ten 2-ounce shooter glasses.
Use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese and yogurt together in a medium-sized bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Stir together condensed milk and key lime juice in a separate bowl. Add to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined. Divide mixture in half and tint one portion with green food coloring. Place each portion in a separate resealable plastic bag and snip one corner from each.
Fill each shooter glass halfway with white mixture. Tap each glass on the counter to level the cheesecake. Repeat with green cheesecake mixture. Place filled glasses in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh key limes: Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or store-bought lime juice. If you can, try to find key limes at your local farmers market or grocery store.
Don't overmix the ingredients: Overmixing the ingredients will make the shooters too thick and dense. Mix them just until they are well combined.
Chill the shooters before serving: Chilling the shooters for at least 2 hours before serving will help them to set and firm up.
Garnish with a lime wedge or twist: A lime wedge or twist will add a pop of color and flavor to the shooters.

Conclusion:

Key lime dessert shooters are a delicious and refreshing way to end a meal. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them tart, sweet, or somewhere in between, there's a key lime dessert shooter recipe out there for you. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful dessert, give key lime dessert shooters a try.
